3D Print - materialize the digital 3D model.Slicing - generate S3r and S3D toolpaths.Split 3D Model - subdivide the 3D model into that specific regions.3D Simulation - understand the regions the are more fragile in the 3D model.The workflow was based in the following processes: Doing this I will avoid to increase the thickness of the 3D model and will guarantee that the model will resist to the applied loads.īasically the final 3D printed model will have different infill densities depending on the region of the model. I intend to demonstrate the utilization of an advanced feature in order to give more strength/rigidity in a specific region in your 3D model. The first one is a free, open-source software - Slic3r (S3r), and the other one is Simplif圓D (S3D), a commercial/professional solution for 3D printing. This is a simple tutorial where I will compare a powerfully functionality that two available slicers have.Ī slicer is a tool you will need to convert a digital 3D model into printing instructions for your 3D printer.
